"Tense, involving, Camden’s Knife is a smart near-future
thriller with a startlingly real sense of plausibility. In a world that's
falling apart, can one ordinary person make a difference? Tremendous stuff!
Kavanagh can write!”

–Hugo Award-winner David Wingrove, author of the Chung Kuo series and the Roads To Moscow trilogy

Riverdale Avenue Books is thrilled to publish Camden’s
Knife by John Patrick Kavanagh, an up-dated version of the science
fiction classic Sixers that best-selling author Scott Turow called “Terrific.”

In this near future
pop-culture-filled dystopian novel, America is under the dark cloud of a new
envirus, Camden-Young’s Disease. Unleashed five years earlier from an explosion
at a genetic engineering laboratory, the stealth envirus has laid waste to 74%
of Caucasians between puberty and their early thirties while the other 26% are
mysteriously immune. From flu-like attacks to excruciating fevers, hair loss,
blindness, insanity and death, there is no cure; the only respite available
being the Febrifuge Blue line of pharmaceuticals controlled by the Southern United
Enterprises conglomerate used to treat symptoms of the target population while
also used recreationally by the fortunate Sixers.

Dr. Arthur Camden,
dispatched from the company a year earlier by the powerful and merciless
executive Trisha Lane, believes a formula for a cure (which would destroy SUE’s
incredibly lucrative money machine) is contained in a pair of notebooks seized
when he was fired. For their return, Camden’s willing to exchange four ounces
of the otherwise unobtainable distillate CY6A4 he purloined just before he was
dismissed that Lane craves to manufacture an experimental potion of
unimaginable potential.

David Stonetree,
Lane’s new administrative assistant, becomes the middleman between the players
in this high-stakes chess match, spurred on by the fact that his partner Sharon
has just been diagnosed as a CYD-positive. Torn between Lane’s seductive wiles
and Camden’s selfless decency he finally takes a stand that could cost him his
job and possibly his and Camden’s lives.

John Patrick
Kavanagh revisits his masterful novel Sixers, updating it to perhaps 20
years from our present-day, adding compelling new characters, situations,
fascinating details and an even more powerful climax.

“I loved this book
when I read it 25 years ago, and it has stayed with me ever since,” said
Publisher Lori Perkins. “Give me a virus novel with social implications and I
am

sold.”

The story continues
in Kavanagh’s sequel, Weekend At Prism, with many of the
characters returning in Las Vegas for the $100M World Standoff! Tournament and
“the biggest rock concert ever held in the history of the Universe.”

Thank you for all your birthday wishes. I am
enjoying the day, but I would love to ask you to pay it forward, so if
you could buy a book or give a review on Amazon, Goodreads or our RAB
website to one of our RAB authors, I would be most grateful.

However, I don't want to break your bank, and I want you all to read my
stuff too (I am actually shy about promoting my own work, believe it or
not), so I put one-day sales codes on my two books on the RAB website so you
can buy ELECTRO DELUXE (the first erotic short story I ever wrote about
that very special relationship between a woman and her vacuum cleaner)
and STILL HUNGRY FOR YOUR LOVE (my second volume of zombie romance
stories) at half price (which mean $.49 on the short and $4.99 for the
book), but the deals is only on the RAB website (because I control it).

Riverdale, NY – April 4, 2014 – Riverdale Avenue Books just published the sexy time travel paranormal romance The Sorcerer King and the Fire Queen by Ana Lee Kennedy which is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, RiverdaleAveBooks.com, and other online retailers.

In this novel, Ruby Nutter thinks she has a normal, boring life — well, except for her fiery powers that always seem to create chaos and hysteria wherever she goes, if she lets anyone know about them.

She can’t even keep a boyfriend because she scares them away. And sex? What sex?

Seeking answers, she decides to go on a road trip with her best friend, who just happens to be the spitting image of Marilyn Monroe, to finally silence the voices and stop the images in her head.

Thrown into a quest to solve her crazy dreams and visions, Ruby finds herself thrust into a paranormal war that goes back millennia. With it comes a reawakened love that forces her to remember her beloved Sorcerer king, a love that must conquer all things to keep the world safe.

Best-selling erotic romance author Trinity Blacio said of this novel, "I read this story in one sitting and couldn't put it down. It's one of my favorite books and will read it again, again and again..."

Caging the Bengal Tiger is now available on Amazon, Barnes & Nobles, RiverdaleAveBooks.com, and other online retailers.

In this book, Bengal tiger shifter Lacey must deal with the life changes that have happened in her female clan as they are wooed by an alien race of alpha shifters and pursued by an even deadlier race of shifter demons.

“Trinity Blacio’s Masters of the Cats series just gets hotter and hotter, and there’s nothing as hot when these female cat shifters go into heat.” said Lori Perkins, Riverdale Avenue Books Publisher. “This is such an amazing shifter series. I’ve never read anything like it.”

Caging the Bengal Tiger starts three months after all the cat-shifters have had their lives changed by meeting a new race of compatible, but alien, shifters. Lacey hasn’t decided whether or not it was for the good. Could her life actually change for the better? Was it possible that the three males who kept following her around were truly hers? Could she really trust them? Was this true love? Or were they trying to cage the tiger seeking revenge?

Isaac Featherstone, Dan Edwards and Anthony Jefferson will fight anyone who harms their woman, including family. Isaac knows they need to collar their Lady Cat, but with betrayal still fresh on all their minds, is she going to trust them with her love? Were they ready to take up the mantle of leadership?

Surrounded by enemies all around them, Isaac, Dan, and Anthony try to protect Lacey the only way they know, showing her that they were not going anywhere. They were there to stay, and her men would not let her down like so many others had. They would prove their love by showing her that she could trust them no matter what is thrown their way.

The first chapter of the next installment in this series, Betsy’s Story: New Ties and New Loves, Book Four is included as a bonus at the end the book.
